Nasolabial Sulcus Fill
in Treatment
Nasolabial sulcus is located on the
two sides of the outer root section
of the nose wing. The view of its exterior
appearance is an inverted triangle with
a dent. Due to the face shape of Eastern
people, more or less, everyone has the
existence of this shadow. However, if
this dent continues to extend to beneath
of the corner of the mouth, then it
will become what is known as nasolabial
fold. As a result, it can also be said
that the nasolabial sulcus is the starting
point of nasolabial fold Therefore,
if the area of the nasolabial sulcus
can be filled up, then nasolabial fold
will in turn be relatively improved.
The increase in depth of the nasolabial
fold is due to ageing and the sagging
of the cheek. But the appearance of
the nasolabial sulcus is due to congenital
dent in the connection area of the zygoma
and maxilla. Therefore, there are many
young people with very deep nasolabial
sulcus, especially those groups with
a flat face shape, high zygoma or protruding
maxilla, is very common. If wanting
to thoroughly correct this problem why
not use rectification surgery to get
this problem over and done with forever,
as the results is short and the cost
is high for rectification when using
hyaluronic acid to fill up the dent.

Surgery
on the nasolabial sulcus belongs
to one of the face filling surgeries.
It is the use of artificial fillings
to fill the intersection area
of the zygoma and maxilla. Currently
the materials we can choose include
silicon gel cartilage, Goretex,
or Medpor. Among them, the last
two materials are the more suitable
materials as they do not easily
mobilize due to long term use.
Surgery can be performed with
intravenous sedation. Firstly
an incision of approximately 1.5
cm is made on the upper mucous
outside the mouth cavity. After
performing separation of the lower
periosteum, insert the sculptured
Medpor into the site of bone intersection.
After confirming that the position
is correct, apply bone nails to
fix it into position. Then stitch
up the incision and the surgery
is completed.
